r/selfhosted is still rising, WTF? Come to Lemmy!!!

Hi all! I used to be a daily r/selfhosted lurker and a bit active user. Since the Reddit saga I thought that r/selfhosted would be one of the first and bigger community to move to Lemmy due to the IT knowledge of all of their users and the sensitivity about self host/privacy/open source, but I see that not only the community is still all there, but it's rising. :( That really makes me sad. How can we convince the mods there to move people here? Is it allowed to talk about Lemmy on Reddit or do we risk of being banned?

Stop obsessing about Reddit and create a content on Lemmy instead. People will come once they see there's enough activity here.

Exactly. Chill out. It's not a competition.

Just hang out and enjoy the community.

It's not an obsession! Simply if all the good poster/commenter that are there would come here, this place would be better!

Be the change you want to see.

You thought they were the leaders. They're the followers, staying near the crowd.

Building communities is hard and takes time.
